‘It’s the Living Word’: Hillary Clinton Randomly Approached a Pastor Who Was Silently Reading

And, according to one South Carolina pastor, she also possesses an “impressive” handle on the scriptures.

The Rev. Frederick Donnie Hunt, pastor of First Calvary Baptist Church, met Clinton at the Main Street Bakery in Columbia, South Carolina, on Wednesday, when she came in with campaign staff and reporters to purchase some baked goods, CNN reported.

Hunt, who was quietly studying his Bible at the time, said that the presidential candidate approached him and asked what he was reading. When he told her that he was studying Corinthians 13, Clinton responded, ”Oh I know it well,” and commended him for exploring scripture.

“You’re doing what is the most important thing to do, it’s continuing to study and learn what the scripture says and what it means,” Clinton said. “I have a preacher friend who sends me scripture and devotionals, sometimes mini-sermons every day.”

Clinton went on to call the Bible “alive.”

“It’s the living word,” she told Hunt, who later said that he was “impressed” by the former first lady’s biblical knowledge.

The pastor, who said that he believes it is essential for a presidential candidate to know the Bible well, now supports Clinton after previously choosing President Barack Obama over her as his candidate of choice in 2008, CNN reported.

I will guarantee you the Devil knows the Bible better than any living human being.

It is with that very knowledge Satan leads many astray in their quest for good intentions to save their souls.

No.

Which is why it was a speculative statement.

I see you are getting attacked for something somebody else started.

Any update on the fake “Clinton is a Christian” story? What is important about this is not only is it fake, it demonstrates an active conspiracy to deceive the public between the Clinton Campaign and CNN, which allegedly interviewed the non-existent “Rev. Frederick Donnie Hunt.”

In other words, this is another fine piece of fake journalism worthy of the Dan Rather Truthiness Prize.

People need to expose just how corrupt the mainstream media is.

Still checking, though conventional searches turn up squat.

However, a couple online stories have disappeared or been edited to call him an ‘assistant minister’.

Hillary’s been doing the Bible Christian shtick since running for the Senate. Christianity Today and Christian Post have fluffed her.

The pinhead (pinhead pastor, not the pinhead Clinton) must be elca (it doesn’t deserve caps).

Yeah, and Slick Willie used to carry a Bible around, even though he’s a sexual predator and pedophile.

Rev. F. D. Hunt (matching the photo) is indeed a real person in South Carolina, although it’s unclear if he actually is employed by First Calvary Baptist. Still likely just staged. Nothing Hillary has done so far hasn’t been.
